Hypopterygium didictyon is a widespread and common dendroid
moss of wet forest and rainforest. It grows on a wide number of
substrates, even on tree trunks where moisture is sufficient. The
fronds are glaucous and can be quite variable. The leaves on the
branches are arranged in 3 ranks with 2 lateral rows of leaves and a
row of underleaves.
H. tamarisci is a very similar but supposedly much rarer.
H. didictyon differs from this species largely in microscopic
characters.
